Hey everyone! In my project, I need to create a PDF with fields that users can fill in. To achieve this, I've opted for the Fill PDF plugin. This plugin includes an input called "Documents" where I must upload the PDF form that contains the fields to be filled in by users. How can I generate this PDF since I can't use Adobe Acrobat in my case?

    Does your use case needs you to create that base pdf dynamically or having a pre defined base template works?

    Do you need to create some actual fillable fields (outside of Appian)? Otherwise you should be able to just "paint" the information in the PDF using coordinates.

    If you need to create an actual fillable PDF, you could try looking at LibreOffice
